Trimming on video layers

Hi there.
There is probably a very simple solution to this, that I just haven't discovered. I have shots on two layers, Cam 1 - V1 and Cam 2 - V2. When I want to trim something on V2 and enter trim mode, I am shown the contents of V1, which is useless. What do I need to do to see V2 in trim mode?
Many thanks,
Rodney

Sorry, I failed to mention that there is no shot immediately connected - it sits in black, so to speak, on the video layer. So I'd expect only to see black in one trim monitor, while I adjust the I/O point to remove camera shake etc.

I can't replicate your problem here. What I'd guess is that you're using either the Sequence menu or APPLE-7 to enter Trim Mode, and your Target Track (set by the big Source/Destination "V1" button on the left) isn't set correctly. Instead, activate Trim Mode by double-clicking on the edit point of the clip you want to modify. It should behave normally.

Thanks Derek,
that was it!

Actually Derek, the track that is entered into Trim Mode when pressing CMD+7 is determined by the auto-select buttons, not the source track button. I just wanted to point that out to anyone else who comes across this thread.

Auto-select buttons can be toggled on/off with CMD+(track number on the number pad, not the numbers above the letters).

My bad. I never use that command.
